Dude, I think the Krimbo elves beat you up a tad too much last month.

BTW, if you don't mind, you can add me to Kingdom of Loathing and to Oblivion - no servers or aliases for either, that I know of.

Bacon Man told me last week not to pre-order Oblivion, since he got it for me for my birthday!

I bet you can add him to Oblivion too, since he might have ordered one for himself as well. But perhaps a ping is in order to confirm. :)

Wow that looks really great! Good job on the thread.

Still on Guild Wars. They had an awesome Christmas theme. Snowballs fights and all. Chapter 2 comes out in April. :D

The thought of a gaming thread on FR never occurred to me but is a splendid idea. Congrats of firing one up!

I play Ultima Online, mostly on the Europa Shard. Haven't had very much oportunity to play since the Katrina bomb went off.

Uh... Oblivion is single player. Like every other Elderscrolls.

Thanks Nick...

CGVet58 was listed under Europa, and I couldn't find the game, so I dropped it from the list. Maybe this is what he meant.
Is the Europa Shard a UO game server?

Yeah... I didn't know this until after I listed it, but they've been using this thread to talk about the game so I let it slide.

Anyone still play Alpha Centauri/Alien Crossfire? Has anyone tried to play it against other human beings?

your link was bad.

Now I remember why I got frustrated with MW. They need to make the installation and patching process a little more user friendly.

"your link was bad."

You may have to register to become a member before you can access the DL link. But yeah, all the patches are a pain to DL, but its worth it if you're a mech jock.

EA Games, under license from Firaxis. It's the predecessor to the Civilization series. It's been discontinued (I believe), but still available on EBay. Judging from the prices the Alien Crossfire Expansion fetches, it's still somewhat popular, and certainly about as popular as a 1999 release can be.

You may list it if you wish, but seeing that this is my first visit to your thread, I don't even know what that would accomplish.

If you are trying to find other freepers who play that same game, you might want to list it here. That is the intent of the thread.
